A documented Police statement in my opinion should take precedent over map(s), given that there are multiple sources. Southern Serbia proved maps aren’t always up to date or reflective of what’s on the ground.
GoatandTricycle-
Would you ask the traffic policeman waving you onto the motorway for a signed statement?
Sure, if you can get that, you might get forgiven a bit of motorway riding, but I'd be surprised if anyone has ever asked!

If you're talking about the same road I'm thinking of, which was an issue in 2017 race as well, then that road had clear car-only signs on it and it doesn't matter what the map says.
EDIT: The A1 and the old A1. North of Vranje.

No, it's been talked about lots before. They have to have clear rules so that people know what is legal and what isn't.
If they went on what locals said on the ground it would give an unfair advantage to people who knew the local ways and would make it impossible to enforce rules - as Rory would have to track down local police when there was a dispute and it clearly isn't practical to do that!
